The last 3 photo's look like the car in the latest LRP ads, nice going !

U1timate PigDog 20-03-2011 01:17 AM

Cheers Guys, the last pics on there were done for a friend at my local track based on his version of a Ronald Volker design I believe.

Just added another body done for a friend. Hope you like it, was based on the protoform design for the Nemesis a few years back.

They'll be for Chris then I guess, judging by the window. :)

Lookin good Piggy D ;)

U1timate PigDog 07-05-2011 03:23 PM

Cheers Jon, they certainly are for Chris, He does love his curved windows hes ran them for years now. :D

Mike Parker 07-05-2011 03:32 PM

I recognise Chris's scheme from back in the touring days :thumbsup: looking gurd G!

U1timate PigDog 08-05-2011 03:10 PM

Thanks Mike, Its hard to see from the pics but the purple is marbled on both bodies and one has a white/yellow graphite pattern down the side, Pics didn't really highlight it well, maybe some close ups next time :D.

U1timate PigDog 18-05-2011 08:54 PM

Another Body !! It does have a marble effect in the red but the my camera is not as good as it once was! The design isn't mine borrowed it off a shell i seen a while ago but thought I would try and give it for some practice, changed a couple of bits but not much. Hope you like it!

Looking tidy ! I like the lights.

I don't think it's your camera I think it's where you're photographing it. Outside is definitely best for true light and colours but at the same time you get so many reflections. If you can find a cheapy light tent on ebay and get that even to the extent of using it outside it should help. Also I don't know what sort of camera you have but using the flash generally helps the colours show up well, maybe put some white tissue over it if it's too big or some tracing paper, this might take some practice and possibly need doubling up but it will be a trial and error thing.

Photographing your hard work is the most difficult part. Good work though, lots in that and it all looks neat and well executed !

U1timate PigDog 19-05-2011 07:52 AM

I will try your tips on the next photos I take, the camera did used to be better, I had it in my rear pocket(without the cover) and forgot about when I sat back on a wall, I damaged the front shutter which now doesn't work properly and I've marked the lens :blush:, A bit gutted but at least it still works :).

Thanks for the advice!

jonmiller 19-05-2011 11:16 AM

lookin good piggy d. lots of curves in there to practice ones blade work :lol:

U1timate PigDog 19-05-2011 03:40 PM

Cheers Jon, there certainly was a bit of blade practice but practice makes perfect as they say :D

Might try some pinstriping on the next one :woot:.

Mike Parker 19-05-2011 05:32 PM

Last one is looking good Graham, nice design & colour combo :)

U1timate PigDog 20-05-2011 07:23 AM

Cheers Mike, I'm getting there just trying to copy a few more complex designs to try and improve the quality and design of my work. I'm really happy with how my ltest one have really started to improve. Still along way to go yet though.

Mike Parker thin pins next maybe? :woot: lol.

U1timate PigDog 28-05-2011 11:52 AM

Another body, I took inspiration from one of LarryG KustomRcGraphics buggy bodies, changed a few things and tried to give it my own stamp,

Also thanks to Eyeayen for the photo tips I think these came out better and managed to capture a bit more of the detail. :drool:
